Btw, I really enjoy crunching numbers (Excel is my friend!)

However, since my family and I have worked with Shawn I would like to say that he is excellent and very professional.

You also have an excellent idea with the washable paint. 

@Marty Johnston is giving you excellent advice.

Nicole Ashey that's an excellent way to get exposure.

I pass a house all the time that is a vacant house (starting to fall apart, unkept, notice on window from county, mail piling up, ect.) that would make for an excellent flip in a desirable area.

David is correct, Kansas City is an excellent market.

e.g. would it make sense to do one or two small/mid-size apartment buildings (say a few tens of units) and have that on our CV before approaching lenders and investors alike, for credibility/track record, or would some panelists think that's spinning wheels and might as well focus on learning the system to go after a larger deal (hundred doors order of magnitude) and go fundraise based on that?

How are these excel spreadsheet based nois looking when you have to wait 60 days to get voucher accepted/turnover.

I use an excel spread sheet I've built over the last two years that works great for me.
